CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2014/085398, filed on Aug. 28, 2014, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201310676780.7, filed on Dec. 11, 2013, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of electronic communications, and in particular, to a wearable electronic device and a display method thereof.

BACKGROUND

As electronic technologies rapidly develop, various wearable electronic devices have increasingly diverse functions and are increasingly user-friendly, so that a user has better experience in a process of using the wearable electronic devices. Currently, intelligent handheld wearable electronic devices gradually become a trend. For example, many handheld devices that have a shape similar to a wristwatch have been launched, and a user can wear these devices around the wrist, which is convenient for use.

However, a wearable electronic device generally has a relatively small screen. Related content displayed on the relatively small screen is not intuitive, and operations are relatively complex during content display. For example, when vital sign data (temperature, heartbeat, blood pressure, and the like) is checked by using the wearable electronic device, the user needs to turn on the display screen of the wearable electronic device, so as to view the vital sign data and determine whether the vital sign data is normal. It is not convenient for special groups of people, such as the old people, to use the wearable electronic device. For example, when the display screen of the device is relatively small, it is extremely difficult for the old people to view clearly related display content. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a wearable electronic device on which display content can be easily identified.

Embodiment 3

In this embodiment of the present invention, to make it more convenient for a user to use a wearable electronic device, when a display screen of the wearable electronic device is in a standby state, an area around a tapping position may be automatically lighted according to operation data of the user, such as the tapping position of the user, so that the user can perform an operation on the lighted area part.

In this embodiment of the present invention, a sensor 1 is set as a touch sensor, and a display 4 includes a display screen that is in a standby state. Operation data of the user can be collected by using the touch sensor, and a tapping position of the user on the display screen that is in the standby state is acquired. The touch sensor generates a sensor signal that represents the acquired tapping position, and sends the sensor signal to a process sensor signal that represents the tapping position and is sent by the for 2. The processing 2 receives touch sensor; determines, according to the current tapping position, a lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state; and generates a display control signal that controls the display screen that is in the standby state to display the lighted area; and sends the display control signal to a display controller 3. The display controller 3 controls, according to the received display control signal, the display screen that is in the standby state to display the lighted area.

In this embodiment of the present invention, a process of determining the lighted area on the display screen based on the tapping position of the user is shown in FIG. 7, and includes:

S301: Collect operation data of a user by using a touch sensor, acquire a tapping position of the user on a display screen that is in a standby state, generate a sensor signal that represents the tapping position, and send the sensor signal to a processor 2.

S302: The processor 2 receives the sensor signal that represents the tapping position and is sent by the touch sensor, and determines, according to the current tapping position, a lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state.

Specifically, the following manner may be preferably used in a process in which a sensor module in this embodiment of the present invention determines, according to a current electrode position, the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state:

A: Divide in advance a display screen M that is in an electrode state from a center position X to two sides by a fixed display area size into several display sub-areas Qs as shown in FIG. 8A.

B: Determine whether the current tapping position is located within a display sub-area Q on the display screen that is in the standby state.

If yes, a display sub-area in which the current tapping position is located is used as the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state. As shown in FIG. 8B, if the tapping position is precisely located within a display sub-area Q1, the display sub-area Q1 is determined as the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state.

If no, a display sub-area adjacent to the current tapping position is used as the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state. As shown in FIG. 8C, if the tapping position is not located within any display sub-area, a display sub-area Q2 adjacent to the tapping position is used as the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state.

In the foregoing manner of determining the lighted area, a size of the lighted area may be determined with reference to a size of the display screen, which can adapt to the size of the display screen and helps to clearly display content.

S303: Generate a display control signal that controls the display screen that is in the standby state to display the lighted area determined in S302, send the display control signal to a display controller 3, and instruct the display controller 3 to control the display screen that is in the standby state to display the lighted area determined in S302.

Specifically, that the display controller 3 in this embodiment of the present invention controls the display screen that is in the standby state to display the determined lighted area may be implemented by using the following manner:

If the user does not lock the screen, the display controller 3 invokes a power response event (screen-off/screen-on), supplies power to the determined lighted area, and controls the display to turn on backlight of the determined lighted area. A home screen is directly displayed in a determined area in which the screen needs to be lighted.

If the user locks the screen, the display controller 3 needs to first query a screen-locked state (locked/unlocked). If the screen is in a screen-locked state, after invoking a power response event (screen-off/screen-on), the display controller 3 supplies power to the determined lighted area, and controls to turn on backlight of the determined area. A lock screen is first displayed in a determined area in which a screen needs to be lighted, and after the user unlocks the screen, a home screen is displayed.

Further, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the lighted area is displayed, the following operation may further be performed on the lighted area, so as to zoom in the display area:

zoom in, by using the tapping position as a center, the lighted area outwards to a preset area range or an area range that adapts to a size of the display screen; or

zoom in, by using a horizontal line in which the tapping position is located as a top, the lighted area downwards to a preset area range or an area range that adapts to a size of the display screen; or

zoom in, by using a horizontal line in which the tapping position is located as a bottom, the lighted area upwards to a preset area range or an area range that adapts to a size of the display screen.

Specifically, an implementation process of zooming in display content in the lighted area in this embodiment of the present invention may be executed by a display. The present area range is an area range of a size that is not greater than the size of the display screen and that is preset by the user according to the size of the display screen. The area range that adapts to the size of the display screen is an area range lighted by means of automatically identifying the size of the display screen in a process of zooming in the lighted area. For example, if the size of the display screen is 10×20, the area range that adapts to the size of the display screen may be an area range adaptive to a size of 10×20, or may be an area range adaptive to a size of 10×10.

In this embodiment of the present invention, a lighted area on a display screen that is in a standby state can be determined according to a tapping position, the lighted area is displayed, and a display position on the display screen can be determined according to an operation of a user. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the user may use an area B surrounding a tapping position A as the lighted area, so that the display screen finally only displays the lighted area B, so as to make it more convenient when the user views display content. In addition, display content in the lighted area may be displayed by means of zooming in, so that the displayed content is more intuitive, which is convenient for the user to perform an operation.

The display controller 3 controls a display to display in full screen the area of interest or the operation area.

Specifically, the current application used on the wearable electronic device in this embodiment of the present invention may be an application that is currently used on the wearable electronic device, or may be a related application that is associated with an application currently triggered by the user. For example, in this embodiment of the present invention, when there is a call, an icon for answering a call may be used as an operation area in which the user needs to perform an operation. In this case, the icon for answering a call is displayed in full screen, so that only the icon for answering a call is displayed on an entire display screen, which is convenient for the user to tap. For another example, when the user selects a menu, an icon of each application associated with the menu may be used as the area of interest that the user intends to focus on, and the icon of each application is displayed in full screen, so that the icon of each application occupies the entire display screen, and an application may be changed by sliding the screen up and down or left and right. When the user selects a contact, information of each contact may be used as the area of interest that the user intends to focus on, the information of each contact is displayed in full screen, and a contact may be changed by sliding the screen up and down or left and right. When audio or a video is played, a related control button is used as the operation area in which the user needs to perform an operation, and the related control button is semi-transparently displayed in full screen on an original screen. When the user browses a web page or a picture, the area of interest that the user intends to focus on is positioned according to a behavior (such as a gesture or a tap) of the user, and the area of interest is displayed in full screen, which is convenient for the user to tap and view related content.

Further, a display area may display a preconfigured home screen, such as time, calendar, and weather, or may display a shortcut menu, for example, an icon of an APP (application) that is relatively frequently used may be displayed, or an unlocking key may be displayed. In this embodiment of the present invention, a size of the display area on the display screen may be adjusted according to preconfigured display content (a quantity of icons or menus that are displayed on a home screen), so as to zoom in or zoom out the display area on the display screen; or certainly, a size of the display area on the display screen may be a default fixed size.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the processor 3 generates, according to frequency of actually using an APP, a display menu of the home screen by means of self-learning, and displays an icon of an APP that is relatively frequently used, so that in the display area on the display screen, the size of the display area may be adjusted according to a quantity of icons of APPs that are actually used.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the processor 3 may add an icon of an APP that is frequently used to the menu of the home screen, and deletes an icon of an APP that is not used in a long time from the display menu of the home screen, so as to generate the display menu of the home screen by means of self-learning. A specific implementation process is shown in FIG. 10, and includes:

S401: Acquire APPs used by a user.

S402: Sort the acquired APPs in descending order by frequency of use, so as to obtain sorted APPs.

S403: Add icons corresponding to the first N APPs of the sorted APPs to a display menu, and delete the last M APPs of the sorted APPs, so as to obtain a display menu of a home screen.

S404: Generate a display control signal for displaying the display menu of the home screen, send the display control signal to a display controller, and instruct the display controller to control a display to display the display menu of the home screen.

In this embodiment of the present invention, on a wearable device, related content can be displayed according to a specific operation of a user. In addition, a manner to display has flexibility, which may be that the related display content is displayed in full screen and the display content is zoomed in, or may be that all content is displayed, or may be that partial content is displayed; and a display area can be adjusted according to the display content, so that the display content is intuitive, which is convenient for the user to use the wearable device.
